Manual staff switches
Voices can be switched between staffs manually, using the following command:
\translator Staff = staffname musicThe string staffname is the name of the staff. It switches the current voice from its current staff to the Staff called staffname. Typically staffname is
"up" or
"down".
The formal definition of this construct is obtuse, but for the sake of
completeness we give it here.
\translator contexttype = nameFormally, this construct is a music expression indicating that the context which is a direct child of the context of type contexttype should be shifted to a context of type contexttype and the specified name.
